Notes: 1976 Parliament Funkadelic, Denver, CO :: lineage: SBD>liberated bootleg "Rocky Mountain Shakedown">?>CD :: Concert recorded during the P-Funk Earth Tour, probably in november of 1976. The 13-minutes version of Dr. Funkenstein is a treasure with Bernie Worrell and Fred Wesley interacting, Maceo blowing some and the vocalists doing their thing.

Notes: Here's Alice Cooper (when the name applied to a band rather than a singer) on their 1973 North American tour in support of the "Billion Dollar Babies" album which broke box office records and featured 64 concerts in 59 cities in 90 days.

The tour allegedly grossed $20 million but once the ruinous expenses were deducted, the profit came to something like $4 million. This was due to the costs of employing about 40 people (including illusionist James Randi, who appeared in the stage show as "The Executioner") as well as transporting 12 tonnes of equipment from city to city including a gibbet, a guillotine, a surgical table, hundreds of baby dolls, dozens of mannequins and the stage set itself. Bob Dolin was drafted in to play live keyboards and Mick Mashbir was allegedly brought in to cover for Glen Buxton's occasionally erratic performances due to his health issues at the time.

I recently received this from a fellow trader. None of this performance was used on the "Billion Dollar Babies" 2 CD deluxe edition as the live recordings featured there were taken from the April 28th and April 29th performances in Houston and Dallas respectively.

The 2 pre-recorded interludes "Night On Bald Mountain" as well as the closing "God Bless America" have beed removed. Sound is pretty good although "Dead Babies" is incomplete.

Recorded one month later, the Minneapolis show seems a bit looser than those two but contains the same high level of energy and fun throughout.

Quality is very good, there is a very slight high pitched hum during “Billion Dollar Babies” and just a bit of “Elected” it then goes away, not really noticeable... < (Info taken from original info file) .

All tracks from Sweden, except for Track 6 on Disc 2(Castle Donnington).
Cover is four separate pictures, one of each member. Pictures are from about that time, however they are lacking in clarity.
Disc 1 is all green with the words "Rapes Stockholm - Disc 1" on it. "Little Guitars" is not in the track listing, but is on the disc. Track 8 of Disc 1 is "Everybody Wants Some!". Track 4 of Disc 2 is "Panama". Disc 2 is all orange. In small print, along with the typical "all rights reserved" stuff, it says, "For licensed broadcast use only".

Unchained starts off sounding pretty muffled, but toward the end of the song things really start to clear up. It is an excellent audience recording or an average soundboard recording. "I'll Wait" and "Jump" sound incredible with Eddie actually playing the keyboard live. Dave stops in the middle of Everybody Wants Some to tell the crowd how great they are and how much better they are than the England crowd. Has some classic DLR quotes spread throughout the disc, such as: "Honey, don't stick your tongue out at my unless you plan to use it!". < Info taken from original info file and vhboots dot com >.

A great hits-filled show from Huey and the News in a hot as hell parking lot. This was a concert put on for RAGBRAI which is a annual bike ride across Iowa that brings all kinds of drunken and road hogging bike riders to our state every year. Why people put on concerts in a parking lot of a nice fairly new air conditioned arena in the middle of July is a mystery to me. I recorded the show and got the hell out of there. Enjoy and please don't complain...it is free after all.<- Info taken from Original info file>.

Notes: With the album “Michael Schenker Group” released in Aug 1980, Michael picked up Paul Raymond
(from UFO), Cozy Powell (from Rainbow), and Chris Glen and began touring from Sept 1980
to Jan 1981. This group quickly went to work recording the 2nd album “MSG” from March – May
1981 and subsequently released in Sept 1981. Schenker picked up touring again in Japan
starting in Aug 1981. The tour dates that I am aware of are

The show contained in this post is an excellent audience recording from Mr. Peach released on the Tarantura label. It is the complete Aug 14 show including the full introduction clip from Apocalypse Now as well as the full drum solo from Cozy Powell (clocking in at over 11 minutes).
The Japanese audience was familiar with Cozy Power from his Rainbow concerts and greeted Cozy with nearly equal applause as Michael Schenker received during band introductions. If you purchase the 2CD version of One Night at Budokan you also can get the complete Aug 12 show (including Tales of Mystery and Cozy Powell drum solo). The Walk the Stage boxset was released in 2009 and contains the afternoon and evening show of Aug 19, 1981 but are not complete because they do not include the drum solo. There are audience sources of the Aug 19 shows that circulate and contain the entire show.<- Info taken from Original nfo file >.

Pink Floyd played five sold out nights at the Nassau Coliseum on the short but expensive Wall tour in 1980 and 1981. All five were taped from the audience with the final night on February 28th being the most popular show to appear on silver releases.

On Tearing Down The Wall the Godfather label present the three rare middle shows, February 25th, 26th & 27th. The February 26th show was included on the four disc set on Sigma Your Favorite Disguise (Sigma 23), but the second and fourth concerts from the New York shows are making their silver pressed debuts in this box set.

The packaging is also excellent. It includes a mini tour program, liner notes, and a button commemorating the gigs. Tearing Down The Coliseum wall is the most impressive Pink Floyd release since Behind The Wall (Stonehenge Records STBX 022/23/24) came out in 1993, which contained the Feb. 28th show along with the Los Angeles rehearsals and Roger Waters live tracks from the early nineties.

Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall is a tremendous release by Godfather for the art design and mastering of the tapes. Although the February 28th show is the definitive New York Wall show is not included (it’s been out many times before and Godfather wants to tread new ground), all these shows have very good sound and are very exciting to hear. And the packaging makes this one of the most beautiful releases of the year..<- Info taken from original nfo file, hokafloyd dot com and collectors music reviews dot com">.

Transfered from the very first issue of a Dutch vinyl Boot, only seen once, I had a repressing on TMQ label before, which didn´t sound as good as the Original pressing, but also only found two times!
This show is, as far as I know, the earliest CREAM concert recording!
It includes more spontaneous playing of short versions of the common CREAM songs than the later shows, plus a rare rendition of "Lawdy Mama", my favorite number here!

The recording sounds great for it´s time, and the show is probably one of the hottest CREAM shows ever! The Viktorie Boot recording is in a real nice "Electronic Stereo" mix also different from the repressing, which used only one channel from the original issue Although this show is credited to be recorded in Rotterdam, NL, it is well known in the CREAM scene that it is originally recorded in London at the Klooks Kleek Club Nov 1966! The vinyl is in good shape , a near mint cpoy, but the vinyl has a few very small "holes" in it´s surface, but the overall sound is really great! Enjoy this great piece of CREAM history!.

Notes: Excellent Stereo Audience recording. Complete show. One of the best boots of the year. *The full artwork is included in the download.

Review by Dean Goodman: Paris was absolutely the best crowd of the European tour so far. I always think of the French as being hipster and affected, but the fans who packed the Stade de France gleefully gave it their all. The cheering for Charlie went on forever, and everyone struck up an impromptu "Woo-hoo!" chant after "Miss You" had ended. The singalong on "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was also outstanding.
As for the Stones, it's clear they have a strong attachment to Paris. After Keith was introduced, he walked a little down the ramp to bask in the cheers before returning to his mike to declare, "Bonsoir! That's all you'll get out of me." But he did say "merci" after the strong reception to "You Got the Silver."

Still, the show was merely "very good" instead of "excellent" as we got in Berlin. As usual, things go off to a wobbly start as their billion-dollar sound system blew out Mick's vocal for the first two lines of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Or maybe it was karmic retribution for indecorously cutting off the Struts' sound when they appeared to go overtime.

"Midnight Rambler" didn't quite work tonight. It's hard to tell, but judging from his hand gestures Mick wants the song to be played faster and it never really gelled. It was still a powerful 13 minutes and 25 seconds, thanks largely to the efforts of Mick Taylor, who engaged in a sort of musical joust with his singer. But as Mick J. noted at the end in thanking Mick T., "That was great. Well, your bit was great."

The Mick-Mick duel is always a highlight, as is the Mick-Keith face-off at the end of "Out of Control." This interaction, perhaps partly competitive in nature, brings out the best in everybody. But the didn't seem to be as much camaraderie tonight. Maybe Mick is coming down with a cold. He blew his nose several times during the show (and tossed the paper towels on the stage for the roadies to pick up), though his voice seemed fine.

It was great to get three songs from Sticky Fingers, thanks to the addition of "Wild Horses" and the Internet "choice" of "Bitch." But "Wild Horses" suffices perfectly with Keith only on backing vocals. During the choruses, he and Mick were drowned out by Lisa and Bernard. I didn't know it was a Fischer-Bernard composition.

To echo comments on this website, "Gimme Shelter" now has about as much menace as a Celine Dion song. Lisa draping herself all over Ronnie and Keith totally goes against the spirit of the song, reducing it to some low-end cabaret number. But Keith wrote the song, and he seems happy to be pawed by Lisa, so I guess the tacky sideshow will remain. Chuck's honky-tonk piano in "Sympathy" was also inappropriate. I can go either way on his gospel redo of "You Can't Always Get What You Want." But it's hard to escape the feeling that the hired help have staged a revolution of sorts.

Great to see plastic Stones cups in two styles, and the blue Eiffel Tower t-shirt was magnifique. Long lines for the ATMs outside the venue, but no lines at the ATMs inside. D'oh!.<- Info taken from iorr dot org>.

This title from Godfathers Records contains two recordings from radio broadcast done in the Netherlands. The first nine tracks see the on the European leg of the tour to promote the Highway To Hell album. It comes from a rebroadcast of the show on Dutch radio “Legendarisch Live” May 11, 2007. The recording is excellent stereo and captures the band in fine form. The recording is not complete, three tracks are missing, the opening song Live Wire and the final two songs Rocker and Let There Be Rock. The songs were on the rebroadcast and am not sure the reason for the omission and is unfortunate that they are not present.

The recording is very good to excellent stereo of again a superb performance. It is nice to have great live renditions of Gone Shooting and Rock and Roll Damnation and the final crushing blow of Let There Be Rock closes the cd.<- Info taken from Collectors Music Reviews dot com>.

Notes: Last Night of the European Tour. This is one of the few CD bootlegs that is not a reprint of previous vinyl or CD bootlegs. The recording is one of the best audience ones. (bolchini.com/mow/police/discog/boots/walking-lonely.html).

Notes: Lineage: original silver CDs --> EAC --> FLAC. Cover art is included. (Note specially the scratched-out label numbers on the CDs! So these are really >>bootlegs<< to the core.)

Note on Beethoven's #9 Symphony: I think we came to the conclusion, that the inclusion of this particular intro (taken from Clockwork Orange OST) is tolerated in the torrents. Info taken from Bassman's Site: This re-issue is a "killer"!

The cover is made as an LP fold out cover in CD size, and each disc has a blue and white picture inner sleeve. Great and highly appreciated! The same excellent sound quality as on the Japanese original has been maintained. Same as the CD PARIS AU PRINTEMPS (1990). algonet.se/~bassman/bootlegs/index.html

The additional text at Bassman's Site refers to the cover art of PARIS AU PRINTEMPS, not of VISIONS AND SOUNDS. Personal note: In my current sharing mood of original silvers of Bowie boots, I originally wished to share my favourite boot from 1990: Rock In Rio. However, since user dan_augen beat me on this, I selected another one. This is a very early show of this fantastic tour. The set list and the performances of the songs changed a bit till the later part (as on Rock In Rio).

Therefore this early show is very interesting. Particularly 'Golden Years' is nicely performed. Unfortunately, Bassman's quality rating "excellent sound quality" is not true IMHO. Judge for yourself with the attached sample. Compared with other releases from this tour, it is hard to believe that this is a soundboard recording. If so, then it is really a bad soundboard..<- Info taken from original .nfo file>.

From Wikipedia:Bootlegging is often incorrectly referred to as piracy but there are important differences between the two terms. Non-profit bootlegging is trafficking in recordings that the record companies have not commercially released, whereas piracy is the illegal copying/sale of recordings that are available commercially.

Bootlegging is often incorrectly referred to as piracy but there are important differences between the two terms. Non-profit bootlegging is trafficking in recordings that the record companies have not commercially released, whereas piracy is the illegal copying/sale of recordings that are (or have been) available commercially or are planned/scheduled for commercial release.
